“Malaysians for Beng Hock” Campaign

MALAYSIANS FOR BENG HOCK campaign.

The family of the late Teoh Beng Hock, who died a mysterious death at the Selangor’s MACC headquarter, calls on all Malaysians to continue support in their quest to seek truth and justice. They say that their quest is beyond the Teoh’s family and it extends to the future generations of Malaysians.

At the recent public forum “Injustice for 1 Year : What Say You Malaysians?” held on Monday August 16, 2010 evening at the KL & Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall, the sister, Teoh Lee Lan said the number of people at events related to Beng Hock has been gradually decreasing since his funeral service last year.

She had said, “We are non-partisan. This is not a political issue, but it is about the country and the kind of system we have.”

A group of NGOs, civil societies and individuals came together and formed a movement to ensure justice is secured for the family and the greater Malaysians. They call themselves “Malaysians for Beng Hock”. It is a movement in support of Beng Hock’s family. It is a movement in search of justice. It is a movement against state-sponsored torture. It is a movement for all of us Malaysians who care.
